Hoskins Cocktail
Spirit-forward and just on the sweet side of bittersweet with cherry and citrus fruitiness. A perfect after-dinner digestif

Although a fan of Amer Picon in cocktails, I found this one a bit 'flat' at first. Added a knife's tip of citric acid dissolved in 2 tablespoons of water and 2 drops of 4:1 saline solution and that made a good cocktail a great cocktail (to my taste).

Thinking about your comment as I drink this, although I really am enjoying it, you are absolutely correct; it could benefit from a bit of acid. I have citric acid powder which I use for cooking, I was curious if you have other ideas as to how to introduce some acidity.

Hi ! Citric acid powder works fine for me, just make sure to dissolve it in a tablespoon of water first. You could also add lemon juice, but that would make the cocktail 'blurry' (and you would need more of it). Cheers !
